Hezbollah’s "widespread network of financial controllers has helped the group exploit  ...The land area formerly occupied by the state of Lebanon, before that Phoenicia...’s financial resources and survive the current economic crisis," the Treasury says. The group, designated as a terror entity by the United States since 2001, uses businessmen to "gain access to material and financial support through the legitimate commercial sector," says the Treasury, "to fund its acts of terrorism and attempts to destabilize Lebanon’s political institutions."
